They're all a bunch of clowns when it comes to promises at election time.

That's part of what I find so perplexing actually. This party has the gall suggest that they have the right answer to every issue facing the province, and some of these problems are enormous and generational. It really boggles the mind how people can fall for some of it. Take for example healthcare:
- They plan to reimburse people for care in a private facility. Think about that for a second...reimburse. I make good money. I don't know that I have the kind of coin to head down to US for treatment though. There aren't dozens of people ahead of you at the clinic with $50-$100k burning a hole in their pocket!
- About that reimbursement. They'll pay up to the AHC amount, which sounds good. The issue here is that private facilities simply cost more. Aside from that issue, are they paying for travel and lodging for people? What about food? Who goes through these claims and oversees that the right things are paid and adjudicates? How much does this new system cost to administer?
- So we crossed that bridge, hypothetically. How many sick people can travel for care? Who insures them while they travel? Do we pay for spouses and parents to go as well?
Honestly, I can't even attack their platform here because no one knows what it really amounts to. Its an enormous change and addition to our healthcare system.
